The Value Exchange podcast – Episode 30 – Out Now!

We had the lovely opportunity to spend some time talking to Simon Bland, Head of Economic Prosperity for Reigate & Banstead Council. Simon shares some wonderful stories, starting with wanting to be a Hotel Manager, becoming a Chef, how he transitioned to teaching and the challenges he’s faced/is facing in his 20 years in the Council. We talk about the challenges facing employers and their approach to recruitment today, how we might do this differently and why people need to keep being their authentic selves. We also spend some time considering social value and what does that actually mean (there’s definitely still much confusion) and perhaps it might be as simple as all deciding to help people/each other more. This and much much more. Enjoy!
